Love this story from Backpacker Magazine:

"According to the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, your odds of becoming a victim of violent crime in a national park are one in 708,000. In the United States overall, it’s one in 50."

Be careful--especially once you get back home!

Not to pick a scab but this is surely due to the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009.
